Aaron W. Hughes believes translation has profound implications for Jewish identity. The Invention of Jewish Identity presents the first sustained analysis of Bible translation and its impact on Jewish philosophy from the medieval period to the 20th century. Hughes examines some of the most important Jewish thinkers -- Saadya Gaon, Moses ibn Ezra, Maimonides, Judah Messer Leon, Moses Mendelssohn, Martin Buber, and Franz Rosenzweig -- and their work on biblical narrative, to understand how linguistic and conceptual idioms change and develop into ideas about the self. The philosophical issues behind Bible translation, according to Hughes, are inseparable from more universal sets of questions that affect Jewish life and learning. 606 $aJews$xIdentity 606 $aTranslating and interpreting 606 $aLanguage and languages$xPhilosophy 606 $aJewish philosophy 615 0$aJews$xIdentity. 615 0$aTranslating and interpreting. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aJewish philosophy. 676 $a221.4 700 $aHughes$b Aaron W.$f1968-$01614327 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815120503321 996 $aThe invention of Jewish identity$94064173 997 $aUNINA
